A peaceful night turned into tragedy when Lisa, 17, was brutally stabbed while riding her bike home near Amsterdam.

Police say Lisa called officers after noticing she was being followed. Minutes later, she was found fatally wounded near a cycle path. Within two days, a man was arrested at a nearby asylum center. Authorities believe he is an unregistered migrant in his 20s, but they still do not know his identity.

Lisa’s death has devastated her village of Abcoude. Friends and teammates remembered her as smart, athletic, and full of life. Her hockey club shared, “Words fall short in the face of this unimaginable loss.” Her family, who asked for privacy, said, “Our hearts are broken… we are grateful for the love and support around us.”

The murder sparked nationwide anger and protests against violence toward women. Thousands marched, carrying signs like “She had dreams, not a grave.” Lisa’s story is now a painful reminder of safety fears many families share. How can society better protect its daughters?
